Reply to comment by Kineda77 in Report: The State of Housing in the Richmond Region 2023 by opienandm

Probably, but the water bill isn't rent? I've never rented a place and not paid for water or rent..

And it normalizes the price. They are comparing to the previous price which was calculated the same way. And this is an affordable housing group that's skew is to portray rent as high, they certainly aren't trying to diminish it.

So I don't think those are very useful points honestly. Should trash bags from the grocery store be in there too? Can't use the garbage service without garbage bags

Reply to Should Virginia help pay to rebuild Fox Elementary? What happens if lawmakers say 'no'? by CrassostreaVirginica

Take emotions out. Take the "community" out..... doesn't the school district need a new elementary school? Like you lost a functioning piece of your organization. Your just not going to replace it? Is the excavation of the current site that much more expensive than clearing some other potential site? Or are they just going to continue to stuff kids in other schools?

the only purpose of an establishment like a casino is to hoover up money, not dole it out. if it's such an obvious payout why did they have to buy their way to the table?

going by your logic any business is free money for the city.

Reply to So is is just me or is Gersi basically the worst Italian restaurant in Richmond? by Swrdmn

Their new place, Uliveto, is exactly the same. Apps were okay, pasta entree was incredibly bland, service was poor, and they are trying to juice as many seats as they can out of that tiny ass space. I ate with my elbow in somebody’s armpit the whole time. I could smell dude’s hair gel he was so close. Such a stunningly poor value but damned if there wasn’t a line of suburban housewives out the door.

Reply to comment by xRVAx in Abortion protestors by the VMFA by OatmealCremePiez

I think it is. I also can look further than that, in that it's life is second to the mothers in all circumstances so it's irrelevant. And I've had kids LOL. No question why most abortions are for second or third time mothers. But if we are discussing the Bible and god and religion, it's just not there. Fervor over the unborn is a tool and if you think otherwise you have been sucked right in.
